RHS Garden Bridgewater

Bridgewater Gardens has been created in 154 acres (62 ha) of the former Worsley New Hall estate, with the Bridgewater Canal forming the southern boundary. It is the RHS's first new garden since it acquired Harlow Carr in North Yorkshire in 2001, and was one of Europe's largest gardening projects when under construction. It opened to the public in May of 2021 and since then has led the way in developing a unique blend of heritage landscape assets combined with biodiversity initiatives and underpinned with community based outreach programmes. In 2022 the garden was awarded first place in The European Heritage Garden Network's (EHGN) category of 'Best Contemporary Garden in a Heritage Setting'.
